All hail to thee, Immanuel!

Representative Text

1 All hail to Thee, Immanuel,
We cast our crowns before Thee;
Let ev'ry heart obey Thy will,
And every voice adore Thee.
In praise to Thee, our Savior King,
The vibrant chords of Heaven ring,
And echo back the mighty strain:
All hail! all hail! All hail all hail! Immanuel!

Chorus:
Hail to the King we love so well! Hail! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well! Hail! Immanuel!
Glory and honor and majesty,
Wisdom and power be unto Thee,
Now and evermore!
Hail to the King we love so well! Hail! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well! Hail! Immanuel!
King of kings and Lord of lords,
All hail, Immanuel!

2 All hail to Thee, Immanuel,
The ransomed hosts surround Thee;
And earthly monarchs clamor forth
Their Sov'reign King to crown Thee.
While those redeemed in ages gone,
Assembled round the great white throne,
Break forth into immortal song:
All hail! all hail! All hail all hail! Immanuel! (Chorus)

3 All hail to Thee, Immanuel,
Our risen King and Savior!
Thy foes are vanquished, and Thou art
Omnipotent forever.
Death, sin and hell no longer reign,
And Satan’s pow’r is burst in twain;
Eternal glory to Thy Name:
All hail! all hail! All hail all hail! Immanuel! (Chorus)

Notes

D. R. Van Sickle wrote the hymn "All hail to Thee, Immanuel" in 1910 when he was an unbeliever to show that non-Christians could write Christian hymns. Years later after this hymn was published, he was sitting in church, heard the choir sing his hymn and by the grace of God was converted.
